    It's true, I have risen from the dead. And your short bed's shortcomings would have been evident in this situation. You'd most likely have a hood ornament in your backseat. Although apparently your 6 speed would have saved your life.

    Look at the fender flare in this pic. Just using my body shop experience, I think with your symptoms of crazy shimmies and wabbles that are happening, your problems are going to be deeper than a bumper.

    The fender flare is buckled out towards the top and it looks as if the bed may even be buckled just behind the wheel. Get under the truck with a flash light and look at the frame. I am going to be there is frame damage with your symptoms.

    Hey, at least my bed isn't useless-I-mean-stunted. :D

    What you've got is basically a Rav4 with a vestigial tail.
